starting point’ of the entire social responsibility, position that continues to have from

ancient times until today, thus providing an expression of Law on its most concerted form,

which reflect the stage of evolution of the entire social life.

standards of conduct, perceived as individual requirements by each member of society3.

The human action enforces the compliance of certain rules and its subordination

of certain goals and interests, according to a system of principles and criteria; this is

because the individual lead his existence in a relational system with others, a system

characterized by extensive interactions and interdependencies.

In any society may appear different types of conduct, whose broad includes those

conformist, innovative, as well as those non-conformists, escapist or deviant.

As full integration of the individual in society, legal norms are not an exclusive

element; these are the foundation of a set of rules for the most various types. The institution

of social responsibility arises precisely in this way, representing a higher level of

integration of the individual in the society.
